In the greenhouse, the fruit defects are
noticed early and pruned during crop maintenance,
avoiding the wastage of valuable resources
such as water and fertilizer and conserving
energy overall. "

unique and the supplier of choice
for our retail, food service and
wholesale partners. "
Through the years, Red Sun's
Farms' business philosophy has
pretty much stayed the same
as when DiMenna first started
delivering the best product, at the
best price, with the best service.
Red Sun Farms' corporate values
of accountability, collaboration, trust
and innovation are evident from seed
to plate. This foundation of values
allows the team to meet the growing
demands of customers, ensuring
that the consumer experience is the
best in the industry all year long.
This strategy has supported
growth of 5% to 10% annually, year
over year, and DiMenna is confident
that this trajectory of growth will
continue for the business.
Wide customer base
Red Sun Farms supplies
retail, foodservice and wholesale
customers in the U.S., Canada and
Mexico, with the goal of exceeding
its partners expectations.
" Retailers evaluate their supply
partners with scorecards reflecting
quality, on-time delivery and order
fulfillment rates, so we strive to
ensure we are in line with those
metrics, " DiMenna said.
